FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to 3,4-disubstituted coumarin and quinolone derivatives and processes for their preparation. The invention also related to methods for treating infection of Hepatitis C virus by administering a 3,4-disubstituted coumarin or quinolone derivative. The invention provides a synthetic process for the preparation of 3,4-disubstituted coumarin and quinolone derivatives using mild reaction conditions, which provides a high substituent tolerance and is appropriate for use in solid phase syntheses for producing a library of 3,4-disubstituted coumarin and quinolone derivatives for biological screening.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Strategies in new drug discovery often look to natural products for leads in finding new chemical compounds with therapeutic properties. One of the recurring problems in drug discovery is the availability of organic compounds derived from natural sources. Techniques employing combinatorial chemistry attempt to overcome this problem by allowing the high throughput synthesis and testing of hundreds or thousands of related synthetic compounds, called a chemical library. In designing the synthesis of a prospective therapeutic compound or a chemical library, one often looks to natural chemical motifs which are known to have broad biological activity. Coumarin and Quinolone derivatives are of particular interest due to their frequent occurrence in nature and range of biological activities.

[0003] Coumarins are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. Approximately 50 naturally occurring coumarin derivatives have been identified. Derivatives of both coumarin and quinolone posses a range of biological activities. To avoid confusion, the coumarin and quinolone derivatives described herein are numbered according to the following convention:

[0004] Infection with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents a serious world-wide health crisis. In more than 70% of infected individuals, the virus evades clearance by the immune system leading to a persistent HCV infection. The long term effects of persistent HCV infection range from an apparently healthy carrier state to chronic hepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is a leading cause of chronic liver disease. The best therapy currently available for treatment of HCV infection uses a combination of pegylated .alpha.-interferon and ribavirin. However, many of the patients treated with this therapy fail to show a sufficient antiviral response. Additionally, interferon treatment also induces severe side-effects (i.e. retinopathy, thyroiditis, acute pancreatitis, depression) that diminish the quality of life of treated patients. Thus, it is vital that more effective treatments be identified.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The present invention provides 3,4-disubstituted coumarin and quinolone derivatives having the formula I wherein: [0006] each R.sup.1 is independently selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, --O--R.sup.11, --N(R.sup.12)(R.sup.13), --N(R.sup.11)C(O)R.sup.11, --N(R.sup.11)SO.sub.2R.sup.11, --SR.sup.11, --C(O)R.sup.11, --C(O)OR.sup.11, --C(O)N(R.sup.12)(R.sup.13), --OC(O)R.sup.11, --OC(O)N(R.sup.12)(R.sup.13), CN, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2, SO.sub.2, --SOR.sup.11, --SO.sub.3R.sup.11, --SO.sub.2N(R.sup.12)(R.sup.13), -alkyl-O--R.sup.11, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, halo, phosphate, phosphonate, aryl and heteroaryl; [0007] additionally or alternatively two R.sup.1 substituents on adjacent ring atoms my be combined to form a fused 5 or 6-membered ring, wherein the fused 5- or 6-membered ring may contain from 0 to 3 ring heteroatoms and may be further substituted with on or more substituents selected from R.sup.1; [0008] each R.sup.11 is independently selected from H, alkyl, alkyl-O-alkyl, alkyl-O-aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; [0009] each R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 are independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkyl-O-alkyl, alkyl-O-aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; or R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 may be taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 5- to 7-membered ring which may optionally contain a further heteroatom, [0010] n is 0 to 4; [0011] R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of aralkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl and cycloalkenyl; [0012] R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, --(CH.sub.2).sub.aC(O)R.sup.31, --(CH.sub.2).sub.aC(O)N(R.sup.32)(R.sup.33), (CH.sub.2).sub.aC(O)OR.sup.31, --(CH.sub.2).sub.aC(O)N(R.sup.32)(R.sup.33), --(CH.sub.2).sub.aN(R.sup.32)(R.sup.33), --CH.dbd.N--R.sup.34, [0013] R.sup.31 selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; [0014] R.sup.32 and R.sup.33 are independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; [0015] or R.sup.32 and R.sup.33 may be taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 5- to 7-membered ring which may optionally contain a further heteroatom; [0016] R.sup.34 is selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl [0017] a is 0 to 6; [0018] X is selected from O and N--R.sup.4; [0019] R.sup.4 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, --(CH.sub.2).sub.bC(O)R.sup.41, --(CH.sub.2).sub.bC(O)N(R.sup.42)(R.sup.43), --(CH.sub.2).sub.bC(O)OR.sup.41, and --(CH.sub.2).sub.bC(O)N(R.sup.42)(R.sup.43), [0020] each R.sup.41 is independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; [0021] R.sup.42 and R.sup.43 are independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; [0022] or R.sup.42 and R.sup.43 may be taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 5- to 7-membered ring which may optionally contain a further heteroatom; [0023] b is 0 to 6; [0024] Y is selected from O and N--R.sup.5; [0025] R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, --(CH.sub.2).sub.bC(O)R.sup.51, --(CH.sub.2).sub.bC(O)N(R.sup.52)(R.sup.53), and --(CH.sub.2).sub.bC(O)OR.sup.51; [0026] each R.sup.51 is independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; [0027] R.sup.52 and R.sup.53 are independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; [0028] or R.sup.52 and R.sup.53 may be taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 5- to 7-membered ring which may optionally contain a further heteroatom; and [0029] b is 0 to 6; [0030] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof.
